Video compilation released of Ultra Fest's worst behaved goers

A video compilation of some of electronic music lover's worst behavior during the three-day festival over the last two years has been released just days before commissioners are set to discuss Ultra's future.

NEKI MOHAN, LOCAL10 NEWS. NEKI, THANK YOU. RIGHT NOW VIDEO FROM MIAMI COMMISSIONER MARK SARNOFF WHO HOPES IT IS PROOF ENOUGH TO KEEP TALLER MUSIC FESTIVAL OUT OF SOUTH FLORIDA AND DOWNTOWN MIAMI. IT'S A VIDEO COP PILLATION OF SOME OF THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC LOVERS' WORST BEHAVIOR DURING THE THREE-DAY FESTIVAL OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, AND IT'S BEING RELEASED JUST DAYS BEFORE COMMISSIONERS ARE SET TO DISCUSS ULTRA'S FUTURE. THE LOCAL10 NEWS REPORTER GLENNA MILBERG JOINS US LIVE WITH THAT VIDEO AND REACTION FROM ULTRA. LAURIE, YOU KNOW YOU CAN FIND THE BEST OF ULTRA MUSIC FEST ON YOUTUBE AND YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY, AS YOU SAW, FIND THE WORST, AND THAT IS PUBLIC SAFETY COMPONENT, THAT WILL BE FRONT AND CENTER RIGHT HERE LATER THIS WEEK AS CITY LEADERS DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO CONTINUE WITH ULTRA MUSIC FEST IN THAT DOWNTOWN URBAN CORE LOCATION. THIS IS 2013. Reporter: GATE CRASH WEEK FIGHTS, POLICE STRUGGLES. YOU CAN FIND THE WORST OF ULTRA MUSIC FEST ON YOUTUBE. MIAMI COMMISSIONER MARK SARNOFF DID JUST THAT TO BOLSTER HIS OPPOSITION. THEY'RE NOT EMPLOYING BEST PRACTICES. BEST PRACTICES DO NOT ALLOW TO YOU BRING NON-TICKETED PEOPLE WITHIN A FOOT OF WHERE TICKETED PEOPLE ARE. Reporter: CRITICAL INJURIES OF A SECURITY GUARD UNDER GATE CRASH ORES OPENING NIGHT SPARKED THE CALL TONED WHAT HAS BECOME AN ICONIC EVENT IN THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC INDUSTRY. ARMED WITH THIS DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REPORT ON DRUG AND CRIME ISSUES IN CLUBLAND, THIS LETTER OF CONCERN FROM UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI PRESIDENT SHALALA AND DEATH AND ARREST REPORTS, SARNOFF WILL ASK HIS COLLEAGUES TO END ULTRA MUSIC FEST IN MIMES DOWNTOWN CORE. DID THEY DO ANYTHING TO BREACH THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. SHULTE. WHAT DID THEY DO? IN MY OPINION IT'S VERY APPARENT. ULTRA WAS PRO PROVIDE FENCING. FENCING WAS INADEQUATE. I THINK EVERYONE HAS SOME RESPONSIBILITY HERE, AND I THINK THE CITY NEEDS TO LOOK AT THEIR OWN POLICE PLAN FOR THE PARK. Reporter: HALTER'S REPS TAKE ORDERS FROM MIAMI CITY OFFICIALS, AND AS IN PAST YEARS, DID PROVIDE THE EQUIPMENT AND RESOURCES REQUIRED, INCLUDING THIS NUMBER OF POLICE OFFICERS REPRESENTED BY THOSE DOTS ON THIS MAP. THIS IS THE CITY'S PLAN. IF THE CITY IS CONCERNED THAT THERE ISN'T PRO INGRESS AND EGRESS THEN THEY SHOULD PROPERTY THE PROPER INGRESS AND EGRESS AND WE'LL BUILD THE FENCING TO THEIR SUGGESTIONS. Reporter: THE ONE COMMISSIONER ON THE RECORD SUPPORTING ULTRA SO FAR IS ALSO THE CHAIR OF BAYFRONT PARK TRUST WHICH DEPENDS ON THAT EVENT FOR MANY ITS ENTIRELY YEARLY REVENUE. I THINK REBATE WE NEED TO HAVE AN OPEN MIND, AND LET'S HEAR ALL THE ARGUMENTS IN ORDER FOR TO US MAKE A PRUNE DENT DECISION. Reporter: -- A PRUDENT DECISION. Reporter: WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS THE ULTRA ORGANIZER'S AGREEMENT WITH BAYFRONT PARK, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THE PROMOTORS HAVE THE RIGHT TO STAGE ULTRA MUSIC FEST RIGHT THROUGH 2018 WITH THE APPROVAL AND CONSENT OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION, ACCORDING TO THIS DOCUMENT, SO CALL THIS A DEBATE, CALL THIS A BATTLE. IT IS ON THE AGENDA FOR THURSDAY, AND A LOT IS AT STAKE ON A LOT OF LEVELS.
